Never mind about acpidmp. This seems to be a issue with
p4-clockmod.c/speedstep-lib.c and the routine which gets the initial
frequency. As a result all frequencies are getting multiplied by 8. Not
sure what the exact bug is though. Dominik can give a better answer.
Cpufreq debug messages will help.

Thanks,

Hi,

Can you send the output of 'acpidmp' from this system to me? If acpidmp is not already installed, you should be able to grab it from here. http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/
Thanks,
Venki

Hi!
The Kernel cpufrequency scaling modul seems to have a bug, it

displays

the frequency of 14,60 Ghz. I don't enabled debugging in the config, but I hope this information can help you. I don't know if it's really a bug, so I send it to the mailing list instead of reporting it to the bugzilla bugtracking system. if you need additional information, I'll

compile a

Kernel with cpufreq debugging.

Hi!
Cpufreq (with enabled debugging (not CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL)) doesn't display any additional messages. I'll compile it with CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.

Hi!
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL doesn't display any additional messages. What do I have activate to get such debugging messages:
dprintk("P4 - MSR_EBC_FREQUENCY_ID: 0x%x 0x%x\n", msr_lo, msr_hi);
